Thaïlande: Le Prince Siddhartha et un démon jouent aux échecs dans une murale à Wat Buak Krok Luang, Chiang Mai, Thaïlande du Nord. Siddhartha Gautama était un professeur spirituel de l'Inde ancienne qui a fondé le bouddhisme. Le moment de sa naissance et de sa mort est incertain : la plupart des historiens du début du XXe siècle ont daté sa vie comme c. 563 BCE à 483 BCE, mais une opinion plus récente date son décès entre 486 et 483 BCE ou, selon certains, entre 411 et 400 BCE. Wat Buak Khrok Luang, situé à Chiang Mai, est un petit temple bouddhiste typiquement thaïlandais du nord, soi-disant fondé au XVe siècle.

Siddhartha Gautama was a spiritual teacher from ancient India who founded Buddhism. The time of his birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE, but more recent opinion dates his death to between to between 486 and 483 BCE or, according to some, between 411 and 400 BCE. Wat Buak Khrok Luang, located in Ban Buak Khrok Luang Moo 1, Chiang Mai – Sankamphaeng Road, Chiang Mai, is a small and typically northern Thai Buddhist temple. It is believed to have been founded in the 15th century during the time of the independent Lan Na Kingdom (1292-1558), and was extensively restored during the reign of Chao Kaew Naowarat (r.1911-1939), the last King of Chiang Mai. The temple is chiefly noteworthy for its main viharn, which is purely Lan Na in inspiration, with a four-tiered roof and elegant naga balustrade entrance. The most remarkable aspect of the viharn is its extensive mural paintings, dating from around 1835 during the reign of Chao Phuttawong (r.1826-1846), the fourth ruler of the Chiang Mai Thipchang Dynasty. The murals, which are northern Thai in style with clear elements of Shan State and Konbaung Dynasty Burmese influence, are among the best in northern Thailand. They feature the jataka stories, past lives of the Buddha, and are interspersed with vernacular scenes from everyday early 19th century northern Thai life.
